- The defect
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023 LEAF vehicles. The right-hand brake tubes may have been damaged during production and could corrode, possibly causing a hole in the brake line and a brake fluid leak.
- What it can cause
- A brake fluid leak can reduce braking performance and extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the right-hand brake tube, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 7, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PC976.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 758 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 55% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Nissan vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 20 times before this, most recently in July 2022 as 22V549000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 19 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V494000 (vehicle speed control), 23V048000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nissan North America, Inc. with NHTSA on May 22, 2023 as campaign 23V362000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
